How do I add missing stdc functions to libstdc++-v3?

I then edited my system headers to add the missing definitions for access(), strxfrm(), strdup() and write() and rebuilt gcc-3.2.3 from scratch (it takes around 20 hours on a 68040!).  Subsequent manual linking of abi_check only complained about two missing symbols:

Where do I tweak the gcc source to be able to define these missing functions without the need for editing my system headers?  I tried to search the sources and the build directories, but was not successful in finding anything obviously related.

They should be defined by gcc itself, in libsupc++.so, you shouldn't
have to do anything.

How are you linking abi_check? What exact command?

I think the problem is how you're linking, not missing features of the OS.
